The Novelist Who Leapt Through Time Episode 210

It is well-known ‘common sense’ that if a novelist harasses the main character of his novel, he will be born as that main character and suffer in the next life.

There is a reason why novelists follow traffic laws. Shouldn’t 1-ton trucks be avoided for now?

But in other words, it means that you will not get that karma back, at least not in this life.

That’s why novelists who have bad personalities and don’t think about the future often create characters in their novels at random.

Suddenly turning a normal person into a cockroach one day, making him draw while watching his daughter burn, suddenly causing a car accident and breaking his leg…

The important thing is that as long as you accept the minor penalty of being reincarnated in another world, you don’t have to take any responsibility for how you behave with the characters in the novel.

So, we can say that being a novelist is a very comfortable job.

But I am not a drama writer.

“Writer!”

If a drama writer treats the ‘characters’ carelessly, the ‘characters’ can come and protest in real life.

This is why actress Song Ji-young, who played the role of Kim Chae-yeon, who started out as Kim Chae-yeon (an ordinary mistress) and suddenly became Kim Chae-yeon (who has an illicit sexual relationship with drugs and dies in episode 1), came to see writer Lim Song-i.

To be precise, Song Ji-young was crying like a girl who got hit by a dodgeball in gym class, and the head of the agency came in like a best friend who was trying to catch the kid who threw the dodgeball.

“Isn’t this too much!”

“Director, stop… stop… Because I’m fine… ”

“What on earth did our Jiyoung do wrong to be like this! “If we did something wrong, please tell us!”

Actress Song Ji-young’s manager blushed and shouted with Guan Yu-like force.

“You’re out in episode 1 – !”

It was like that.

A role that ‘has an adulterous sexual relationship with drugs’ is okay, but a role that ‘dies in episode 1’ is not. Quantity is an important issue.

Of course, ‘Kim Chae-yeon’ is a C-level character who has very little screen time, her role in the story is very meaningless, and her lines are one-dimensional, but she still shows her face occasionally until episode 7.

But they kill him in episode 1…

Isn’t that almost like being demoted from a supporting role to an extra?

And since drama appearance fees are also paid based on ‘episode’, actress Song Ji-young’s appearance fee was as if it was suddenly cut by 1/7.

Manager Yama Dolgi is just good news.

‘damn… ‘

Writer Lim Song-i frowned as he sensed that something troublesome had happened.

Seeing that a head-level manager came to visit in person, it means that Yama was also circulating at Song Ji-young’s agency.

Writer Lim Song-i internally lamented as she saw the manager whistling like a mother visiting on behalf of her injured daughter.

‘Damn, if only I was 10 years younger… !’

This doesn’t mean that if I had been 10 years younger, I would have been able to fight with the manager and win, but rather that I would have been able to defeat him with just one vicious word.

A manager ‘daring’ to visit a writer to complain is truly unthinkable in those nostalgic times.

If it had been back then, Lim Song-i would not have had to be in such an awkward position and would have been able to sweep away the obstacle with a venomous tone of voice like, ‘Oh my, where did you learn to touch the script?’

no! You can even throw away the slaughter without even opening your mouth…

This is because the power of a drama writer at that time was beyond imagination.

However, these days, it was obvious that if she did that, she would be kicked out due to the controversy over abuse of power on set, so Lim Song-i suppressed the feeling of murder rising from deep inside her heart.

It felt a bit harsh to criticize someone I had often seen on the same floor for 15 years.

Of course, the agency guys probably knew that and sent that person as a messenger, but what can you do? There are some tricks in the world that you can’t help but suffer even if you know about it.

“Hey, Jihye, don’t be too harsh, just sit down. Actor Song, please stop crying and sit down… ”

Lim Song-i allayed the complaints of the complainants by promising that although the role of ‘Kim Chae-yeon’ was reduced, her role in the work was increased, and that she would provide more screen time with flashback scenes in the future.

But the script cataclysm has just begun,

It seemed clear that there were more than one character in the novel who was dissatisfied with the author…

“The writer is crazy, completely crazy… ”

I’m sorry, but in my eyes, Kim Byeol seemed more crazy than Im Songi.

Kim Byeol came to me like the first witness in episode 1 of the zombie drama, telling me that ‘people ate people.’

I took a quick look to see if Kim Byeol, who had fallen into disarray, had any bite marks, and answered, ‘Oh my god, where are the zombies?’ as if the other person didn’t think it was a big deal.

“Is it possible that writer Lim Song-i is crazy?”

“no! It’s completely crazy! “The best drama writer I’ve ever worked with!”

Of course, entertainment industry veteran Kim Byul belatedly reminisced about the past and began to coordinate by lowering Lim Song-i’s name one or two levels in .

“Oh, isn’t it… ? Second time? No, because that bastard Seo Joo-tae is there, the third… ”

As I counted on my fingers with a confused look in my eyes, I ranked Kim Byeol, who defines Lim Song-i as the fifth psycho, as second in the .

First place is of course Gu Yubin. She was not the gentle and gentle Goo Yu-bin she is now, but back then, the Goo Yu-bin was a psychopath who makes me cringe even thinking about it now.

For reference, Gu Yuna is outside the rankings. Gu Yuna is not psychotic at all. It is strange that this world cannot accept Guy Yuna.

Anyway, I gave red bean bread and milk to the second-place psycho who was still unconscious.

“uh? Is this high-end? “Where did you get it?”

“Director So Tae-woong sends us food every month.”

“… … But still, we didn’t film a project together?”

“There’s no law that says you have to take a picture just because you received a gift.”

“Director, I feel sorry for you… … ”

I secretly recited a magic spell in the ear of Kim Byeol, who sympathized with director So Tae-woong.

“Manju.”

“Suddenly I don’t feel sorry for you.”

Kim Byeol took a big bite of the red bean bread with a straight face and muttered.

The sight was as pitiful as a starving nomad in the plains of Manchuria eating beef jerky in the grassland…

Anyway, with the addition of something sweet, Kim Byeol seemed to slowly regain her senses.

It was clear that my sanity had come back as I began to think of realistic problems.

“ah! “I forgot to wear a mask on the way to the studio!”

“So, stop coming to me suddenly. “What should I do if I get photographed by the paparazzi?”

“Actually, this is already the fourth time that dating rumors have broken out again, so I think fans will do the same now.”

“… … “What does that mean?”

Kim Byeol quietly changed her stance.

“No, no, anyway, Yuna, try to do something!”

“What are you saying Yuna did wrong?”

“You’re clinging to writer Im Song-i like a treacherous traitor and throwing the world into chaos!”

“Why is Yuna such a traitor? “I did what writer Lim Song-i told me to do.”

“What are you going to do anyway?!”

“Why did you come to me with that… … ”

“It’s your responsibility!!!”

“hmm.”

It was a bit annoying to keep saying that it was like telling a vicious dog to wear a muzzle, but if Kim Byeol said it, this was bad for Gu Yuna as well.

Isn’t it possible that people who can’t even open their mouths to writer Im Song-i might take out their anger on Gu Yu-na for no reason?

And we don’t know what will happen to people, but if Yuna is already disliked by the broadcaster, it could be an unexpected problem later.

“Uhm… … ”

I was thinking about how to solve the unexpected quest Kim Byeol gave me, and then shook my head, thinking of a good solution.

As I was about to tell him the plan, Kim Byeol sighed, looking exhausted.

“ha… Why on earth is writer Lim suddenly acting like this? ”

“yes?”

“No, I’m not saying Yuna is a bad storyteller, but it’s not normal in a drama to bring in a kid writer and make him an assistant… . A lot of people are having a hard time, and I don’t know why they’re doing this, really… ”

I was the opposite.

“why? “I understand.”

“what?”

“I understand why writer Lim Song-i says that.”

“What on earth is it?”

“It’s a coin-operated horse.”

Instead of answering, Kim Byeol looked at me with bright eyes.

It looks like he still doesn’t know what I mean.

Well, maybe this is a feeling that only the same writer can understand.

“You ruined the previous work.”

“… … ah!”

“I’m in a slump, so what can’t I do?”

* * *

Lim Song-i is a drama writer with 15 years of experience.

The 15 years were proof of Lim Song-i’s ability, and at the same time, it was also a time for her connections and power to be firmly rooted.

Even for Lim Song-i, this incident was a major accident that was difficult to handle.

If it was 10 years ago, there would be no problem.

It is a common occurrence for a writer to change the script right before the production of a drama.

High-ranking people can say, ‘I did something wrong, right?’, ‘I’m sorry,’ and ‘Okay, let’s do better in the future.’ and move on.

Even so, isn’t this something that can be resolved by changing actors and staff?

Even if there are complaints, all you have to do is get together, talk it out, and push through it with grit.

But I can’t go on like that anymore.

– Why are you suddenly changing the script, writer?

– … …

– If there is no sufficient explanation, we have no choice but to reconsider the investment.

Drama is now a business, not an art.

Under the storm of overseas OTT investment production companies, the production environment has changed significantly, and entertainment agencies, which were in a tight manpower market, have been reborn as prosperous conglomerates.

And they did not let unexpected factors hinder their business.

Yingying A pressure that was incomparable to that of a crying actor or an angry manager weighed down Lim Song-yi.

But Im Song-i did not give in.

Even when several actors gave up on their work, claiming it was a violation of their contract, and several major investors ran away, they did not give up on opening and revising the script together with Gu Yuna.

The reason is simple.

This is because Lim Song-i could no longer trust her own writing.

‘Finally, I have to show you something.’

Lim Song-i is a drama writer with 15 years of experience.

He is also a successful drama writer.

She had enough money in her bank account to last her entire life, had a reputation worthy of envy, and had seen all kinds of actors bow down in front of her.

Just as the writer who experienced the whole world evaporating like an illusion became detached from the world, Im Song-i, who enjoyed the wealth and glory of the whole world, also detached from the world.

All that remains for artists who have detached themselves from the world is their obsession with art.

However, Lim Song-i’s art was cruelly trampled and broken in the past.

And, being trampled by all the people in the world who once revered him…

‘I’m still okay.’

It’s not okay. Lim Song-i’s pride as a writer has already been shattered.

Even if you stuff a 170,000 won lunch into your mouth, you can’t fill your heart.

Artistic success.

Only that can fill an artist’s heart.

So, the reputation I built up over 15 years was destroyed, I was criticized by all kinds of people, and I even borrowed the talent of a child younger than my daughter…

I plan to create a masterpiece.

Anyway, the people who live in this entertainment industry are a bunch of shallow people who stick around and wag their tails as soon as they succeed.

So, you must succeed at all costs.

It doesn’t matter as long as it’s successful.

As long as you succeed… You can stand up again.

“oh.”

It was natural that Lim Song-i did not treat the writer who suddenly came to visit her.

etc.

It doesn’t matter that it reminds you of the bitter failure that caused you so much pain.

It was a stain that, if successful, could be completely erased, even with the help of a writer.

“Welcome, Writer Moon. “It’s nice to see you again, although I’m a little embarrassed.”

Munin saw Im Song-i’s face smiling kindly.

A friendly, sociable smile.

And the eyes filled with sticky film.

The writer saw a glimpse of himself reflected in those eyes.

“Hello, writer. “I’m sorry for rushing to contact you and find you.”

“No! No! If you are a writer, you are always welcome. Our artist friend Moon also works in this studio… “Would you like to go see it?”

Im Song-i’s tone of voice was slow and leisurely, but the content of her words showed an impatience, as she was already laying the groundwork to drag her into drama work.

The writer, reading that impatience, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can stay and look around for long.”

“ah. is it so?”

Despite the firm refusal, Lim Song-i’s voice did not lose its kindness until the end.

This means that Lim Song-i has not lost her intention to involve herself in drama work.

Accordingly, the writer hurriedly got to the point.

“Instead, I have a student to introduce you to.”

Then, getting to the point, he physically attacked one of the students.

One student is frozen.

She was not the best novelist known to literary people, but…

He was the best drama writer.

“Ah, ah, hello… ?”

A shivering Joo-hee Ahn looked up at Song-i Lim and said hello.
